Image description

The greatest novelty in the world Clicquoet, from Monte Video, a South American race horse, with six perfect legs ... This extraordinary animal has run three races in his native country, being the winner of two events. "¦ A short time after his last race by a wondrous freak of nature, two perfect legs rapidly made their appearance, starting just below the knee joints of the fore legs. These extra legs are now at the present time as perfect as those with which the horse was foaled, and are shod the same as any of the others. "¦ This extraordinary curiosity is to be seen alive adjoining Sanger's Royal Wax-Work, and must be seen to be believed [Birmingham]: James Upton, Printer, Great Charles Street, Birmingham, 1880?
